4Runner Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hello, fellow troopers: I'm embarking on my backpack #3 build (hoping for level #2 police officer). I would like to use this thread to bounce ideas off of command staff who will be reviewing and approving my pack--all in an effort to save a few headaches. Is that appropriate? I'm using @bigwam and his info thread as my main source for research. I've already ordered many parts from Ross at RWA. Just recently, I found a vintage 847 Tupperware pitcher AND a Safari 600 canteen on Etsy and ordered both. I think I will have Angry Ape Props build my Sonix Radio. I will build my own frame out of PVC. Do you have any thoughts/suggestions I should consider as I continue gathering my parts? I would truly appreciate your help.

mikelbrierly Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I know this post is a little old, but if you're still hoping to make a frame from PVC, I have a build thread going over my experience building a karrimor-style PVC frame that might be helpful! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
